so im sure there have been a lot of these but my request is some recommendations for fitment. i am lowered on tein s techs and am looking for an offset that mounts flush and looks good for the stance. also what size would you guys recommend? i am not looking for anything over 17's, but leaning more towards 16's, maybe even 15's, which ever would go best with the stance. the overall look is to be stanced, but understated hence possibly 15's. i was thinking about the enkei BOAT's (thats how they're listed on trd sparks), the 6 spoke wheels that came on the xa RS but they are 17 and i feel that they are a bit too big for what i am looking for. if anyone has some pics or links i can reference visually, it would be greatly appreciated. thanx for the help.

 

go with some xxrs. a lot of variety to choose from with many colors and offsets. around 25mm will keep you flush in the rears but poke out a little in the fronts.

 

thanx for the advise. now what size tire should i run without rubbing

 

you won't rub. s-techs only give 1.5 inch drop which still leaves you a lot of room to work with. i would go with beefier tires that give the same diameter as stock, which is 215/45/16 or 225/45/16. if you want thin tires, go with 205/40 or 215/40.

if you want to save money always look on craigslist for some used rims. there's a lot in socal, might be different where you're at though. used tires could save you some money too at tire shops.

 

so i am thinking about using 16x8 +20 wheels with 225/45-16 but all the tires offered are summer performance and i am wanting something with longer tread wear so 205/50-16 all season tires are more then likely in the mix. i shouldnt have any rubbing or fender rolling issues with either one, right?

 

nope. you can google up tire calculator and it will tell you the specs of the tire size like diameter etc. use the diameter and a tape ruler to measure it on the car for yourself if you want to be sure.

 

Alright, thanx for the help guy. I actually found one of those calculators at 1010tires.com. Pretty usefull tool.

 

no problem. if you have any questions later on just post here since i get it in my email.

 

16x8 in stechs with a 50 profile will look bad. Go for 17's and 215/40s .

 

what did you end up going with? pics?

 

I havnt bought anything yet, this was more of an idea for the future. But I am going to go with 16x8 xxr 531s in chromium black with 205 45s
